New Government Report Indicates The FBI Allowed Informants To Break The Law 5,600 Times In One Year

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

As the trial of James "Whitey" Bulger rages
on, regarding the mobster the The
FBI took bribes from and allowed him to
murder innocent people simply because he was an informant, a damning
report has been released on the law enforcement agency. According to a
new government report, the "FBI allowed informants to commit 5,658
crimes" in 2011 alone.

And what was the FBI's answer to this report "It
sounds like a lot but you have to keep it in context." There is no
acceptable context for this, as well documented cases revealed,
innocent members of the public have been assaulted, maimed, shot and
even killed while the FBI looked the other way to allegedly further
investigations. That is inexcusable. As the Judiciary Report has
consistently maintained, you can't break the law to uphold it.

Exclusive: FBI allowed informants to commit 5,600
crimes

August 4, 2013 - The FBI gave its informants permission to break the
law at least 5,658 times in a single year, according to newly disclosed
documents that show just how often the nation's top law enforcement
agency enlists criminals to help it battle crime.

The U.S. Justice Department ordered the FBI to begin tracking crimes
by its informants more than a decade ago, after the agency admitted
that its agents had allowed Boston mobster James "Whitey"
Bulger to operate a brutal crime ring in exchange for information about
the Mafia. The FBI submits that tally to top Justice Department
officials each year, but has never before made it public.
